you think we passed a high water mark with the surge of troops in afghanistan. it only gets worse from here? >> i think so. and unfortunately, brian, you and i have spoken about this before. we have done everything we can regarding military force. and the result has been what we're seeing now, an increased level of violence. and the problem is the president making his announcement when he did, how he did it was a political decision and you and i can debate the number of troops but the bottom line is he split the baby. because he split the baby, our allies don't know what to make of what we're doing and at the same time, they are emboldened by what's going on so what you have is kind of the worse of both worlds. our allies don't know what to do and the taliban feel invigorated to do something against us now. >> like we said, it was a nonmilitary decision and senator graham brought that out in the questioning of general allen in washington. we agree there. how about this? we've never had this degree of trained armed forces in afghanistan and there's a big story wi
